Details
Controls: DB25 pinout jumpers, web/telnet/USB remote control
I/O: AES3 16x16ch on DB25 (Tascam or Yamaha pinout, jumper-selectable), transformer-isolated I/O; AUX card slot for MADI/Dante/ADAT/AES3/TDM/MADI-TP; FlexLink port to MVR-64/other Flexiverters; USB-C
Notable use: Compact AES3-to-anything format converter/bridge for interfacing AES/EBU digital audio gear with MADI, Dante, ADAT and other protocols via swappable AUX cards
Notes: FLAG device_class: classified 'Stagebox / Expander' as it is primarily a two-format I/O bridge/expander (no analog I/O on base unit, not a large routing matrix); could arguably be 'Install Processor' when paired with AUX cards - flagging for review. year_intro (2021) inferred from earliest firmware release note date, not an explicit 'year introduced' statement - flagged as inference. Rack unit height not stated on page (Flexiverter chassis described elsewhere as 1U when two units mount side-by-side, but not confirmed per-unit here). No price published.
